Vacation is over with


OK, it really wasn't a vacation, it was “eh, kinda busy” and "I meant to do something, but I'm in bed now" and the regular bouts with premature senility.
And I didn't realize that I hadn't visited here to offer brilliance and insight – aka “venting” - since the end of January.”
Since then, we've had the Super Bowl, and and and college basketball, and and and, a good Mercer men's basketball season, and and and the start of baseball, and and and Bountygate.
There was the wining/whining and dining of Peyton Manning, and a quasi-obsession with concussions and all but de-footballizing football. Junior Seau committed suicide. Tiger had a good day and dingbats proclaimed him back, and, um, he wasn't. The Florida A&M band is a mess, and the repercussions may be substantially greater than anybody thinks.
Isaiah Thomas, to the surprise of nobody outside of the Thomas household, got fired at Florida International. Bobby Petrino proved yet again what a jackass he is (some of us wrote warnings when he was hired by Atlanta.
Gary Carter died, as did Sarah Burke, Whitney Houston, Furman Bisher, Dwayne Schintzius, Mike Wallace. Dick Clark, Goober, Moose Skowron, Donna Summer, Bill Stewart, Richard Dawson, Mrs. Landingham, Jack Twyman, Orlando Woolridge, among others.
And college football people went further insane with conference changes and assorted playoff talk.
All shall be addressed in the catching up.
